types of A-GPS
Standalone - Your handset has no connection to the network, and uses only the GPS satellite signals it can currently receive to try and establish a location.
MS Based - Your handset is connected to the network, and uses the GPS signals + a location signal from the network.
MS Assisted - Your handset is connected to the network, uses GPS signals + a location signal then relays its 'fix' to the server, which then uses the signal strength from your phone to the network towers to further plot your position. You can still maintain voice communication in this scenario, but not 'Internet/Network service' ie Web Browser, IM, streaming TV etc..
MS Assisted/Hybrid - Same as above, but network functionality remains. Normally only in areas with exceptional coverage.

Oh, and to enlighten you. Any A-GPS device (especially our Touch) can work in any of the four above situations at any given time. The A-GPS Chip is limited only by the type of device, PDA...PPC...Smartphone, or standard phone. But the A-GPS chip within the phones are capable of all four modes. That is what A-GPS does by its own nature. Maybe you need to read up a little bit more.
